Meet with an advisor

To schedule an appointment

  • Call the CBS Student Services Office at 612-624-9717 and ask to schedule an appointment with your adviser.
  • Be prepared to briefly tell the receptionist what you would like to discuss during your meeting (e.g., class scheduling, graduation, etc.)
  • After scheduling your appointment, read the guidelines for preparing for an appointment.
  • Remember, advisers’ schedules fill-up quickly mid-October through November and mid-March through April with students preparing for registration. It is a good idea to call 2–3 weeks in advance of the date you would like for your appointment.

The College of Biological Sciences (CBS) students or prospective CBS students are welcome to utilize our drop-in advising hours. Drop-in advising is limited to a 10 to 15 minute session. Examples of issues for drop-in advising include:

  • Quick questions about academic requirements
  • Review of class schedule, but not long-term planning
  • Questions for U of M students wanting to transfer into CBS
  • APAS questions
  • Short questions and answers
  • Campus referrals
  • One-time-only drop processing
